Concurrent Bachelor's/ Master's Program in Neuroscience
The principal aim of the B.A./M.S. program is to allow students with a serious interest and commitment to pursuing research in a future M.D., M.D./Ph.D., or Ph.D. program to spend a full-time research year in a laboratory. Students are expected to concentrate fully on their research, attend seminars and journal clubs, and write extensively about their research and related topics.
The B.A./M.S. program is structured to provide students with a genuine, intensive research experience in an area of Systems Neuroscience, Cognitive Neuroscience, or Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience. The average candidate is usually a senior and has completed all major required courses, and has a minimum major GPA of 3.5. The application process begins in mid-October when the program administrator send an email with due dates and requirements to student. Accepted students begin their research year in the Spring semester of their senior year. The Program provides 50% of the tuition for a student's 5th year of studies. Qualifications
